Sinossi

Antarctic Volcanoes unveils the surprising world of volcanism beneath the Antarctic ice sheets. It explores how these subglacial volcanoes influence glacial dynamics, impact sea-level rise, and provide valuable insights into Earth’s geological processes. These hidden volcanoes actively release heat and meltwater, affecting the behavior of the overlying ice, which is crucial for predicting future sea-level changes. Using accessible language, this book traces the history of Antarctic exploration and the modern technologies that have revolutionized our ability to detect and monitor these geological features.

The book emphasizes the West Antarctic Rift System and Marie Byrd Land, detailing the types of volcanoes, their eruptive history, and current activity levels. It examines the interactions between volcanoes and ice sheets, such as subglacial meltwater lakes and icequakes, to understand the broader implications for Earth’s climate system. This study combines Earth sciences, glaciology, and climatology, revealing how volcanic activity impacts glacial dynamics, influencing global climate patterns and sea levels.

Through geophysical surveys, geochemical analyses, and modeling studies, the book presents a comprehensive view of Antarctic volcanism. Starting with the geological setting of Antarctica and the fundamentals of volcanism, the book progresses to specific volcanic regions and ultimately assesses the broader implications for our planet's climate. This approach makes complex topics understandable for those interested in Earth sciences, geography, climate change, and the polar regions.

Beasts Men and Gods

Ferdinand Ossendowski

“Beasts, Men and Gods” is an account of an epic journey, filled with perils and narrow escapes, in the mold of “The Lord of the Rings.” 
 
The difference is: it’s all true. 
 
Ferdinand Ossendowski was a Pole who found himself in Siberia and on the losing side during the Bolshevik Revolution. To escape being rounded up and shot, he set out with a friend to reach the Pacific, there to take ship back to Europe. During his journey he fell in with dozens of other military men who shared the same objective… but nearly every one of them perished on the way. 
 
It’s up to you to decide whether Ossendowski was threatened most by the beasts, by the men, or by the gods, or indeed, by the severe and uncompromising landscapes of Siberia, Mongolia, and China. That he survived at all seems improbable. The mystical mysteries and magics of Buddhism, “The Yellow Faith”, were woven about and through his sojourn and had no little part in his survival. Time after time he was put in the delicate position of being the bargainer between warring groups, and ultimately, only incredible luck and his friendship with the Hutuktu of Narabanchi Monastery saw him through. 
 
When published in the United States, this book caused a sensation and became a best-seller. (Summary by Mark F. Smith)

World of Guinness

Rory Guinness

The perfect gift book for Guinness lovers, served here.
How did a beer from Dublin become a globally renowned symbol of Ireland?
In 1759, Arthur Guinness left behind his family's small brewery in County Kildare to seek his fortunes in Dublin. After acquiring the ill-equipped St James' Gate brewery, he soon began to produce the Guinness stout that has become world famous.
Rory Guinness, a direct descendant of the brewery's founder, has written the insider's guide to the world of Guinness. He surveys the family history, the unique brewing process, the brewery's distinctive industrial architecture and the beer's legendary advertising, revealing how Guinness and its people became interwoven into the fabric of Dublin life and created a brewing legacy that stretches around the world.
This is also the story of a remarkable resurgence, because Guinness is now the bestselling beer in the UK, while Guinness Zero is reaching new markets. It is the official beer of the English Premier League, and a long-term partner of rugby's men's and women's Six Nations Championship.
World of Guinness is a revised, expanded and redesigned edition of Rory Guinness's classic short introduction, illustrated with archival images, new photography of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and a selection of Guinness's witty advertisements. It is published in hardback for the first time and makes a perfect gift.
